HIGHLIGHTS View
The French Polynesia is a true paradise for those who choose to explore it on a sailing cruise. Bora Bora is undoubtedly the most famous pearl of the archipelago, an island that enchants with its turquoise lagoon surrounded by a ring of Motu (coral islets). Its iconic image is dominated by the majestic Mount Otemanu, an extinct volcano rising up to 727 meters, offering spectacular views and a magical atmosphere. The Island of Raiatea, the spiritual and cultural heart of the archipelago, is a must-see for its ancient archaeological sites, such as the Marae Taputapuatea, and for the lush nature that surrounds it. It is an island that uniquely combines history, culture, and nature. Motu Tapu is another must-see, famous for its crystal-clear lagoon and breathtaking snorkeling among corals and colorful fish, a corner of unspoiled nature where silence and beauty reign supreme. Not far away, Matira Point, located on the mainland of Bora Bora, is known for its spectacular beach, the most famous on the island, with white sand and clear waters, perfect for swimming or enjoying an unforgettable sunset. Moving towards the Island of Tahaa, the so-called "vanilla island", among the main attractions to see are its motu, the vanilla plantations for which the island is famous, and the tranquil and untouched bays like the Bay of Vai'otaha, which is a UNESCO heritage site for its Polynesian archaeological sites. If you are a snorkeling enthusiast, you absolutely cannot miss the Jardin de Corail. This small shallow channel with crystal-clear waters is located in an idyllic setting, in the center of one of the largest lagoons in Polynesia. Also worth mentioning is Huahine, less touristy but very charming, with the famous Bourayne Bay offering calm waters and lush nature; it is a place where traditional Polynesian culture is still very much felt.
